Supplies

I seem to be in a square card mood these past couple of days. They cost a little extra to mail, but I think they are worth it.

To make this card, you will need:

Whisper White cardstock cut to 4-1/2″ x 9″ and scored at 4-1/2″. This is your cardbase.

Instructions

Place the smaller Detailed Floral Thinlit die about 1/8″ from the bottom and both sides of the Shimmery White 4″ square and die cut; then turn the card 180 degrees and cut the same way from that side. So you have a mirror image of your first cut.

Using the 2-3/8 x stitched rectangle, cut a mat for the sentiment from the scrap of Balmy Blue cardstock, and cut the sentiment from the scrap of Shimmery White cardstock.

Cut the stitched Shimmery White rectangle along the stitching lines to create a smaller piece to layer on the Balmy Blue stitched rectangle.

Stamp the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink. Because I didn’t use the full sentiment (with much love & thanks), I masked the part I didn’t want (& thanks). Then I removed the mask and stamped the sentiment.

Use wet glue to adhere the sentiment to the Balmy Blue mat and the floral die cut square to the Balmy Blue mat. (You could use the multipurpose sheets, but I didn’t have any.)

Use Balmy Blue Stampin’ Write marker to color the ribbon. I used 2 coats on one half of the ribbon, so it would be darker. Once the ribbon is dry, cut it into 2 six inch pieces.

Put the ribbon on the card and adhere it on the back with tear and tape. I put the darker piece down then placed the lighter ribbon above that to give it a bit of an ombre look.
